Eastern Kentucky must know they're fighting an uphill battle given the 20.5-point spread they're up against. They finished last season with a 14-13 record against the spread.
The disadvantage in the odds might be especially worrying for Eastern Kentucky considering the team was a sub-par 1-7 as the underdog last season.
